>Glad this thread helped. My form also does a resize but will that help in diff. length of text?

Several possible approaches.

1. Have a different font-size for every language

The longer it takes, the smaller the font. Of course you should avoid using anything bellow 8 point or so.

2. Leave plenty of room in all UI for growing label.

If you make a proper standard, this could be nice even for the languages that are shorter.

3. Retrofitting your controls to resize/rellocate based on the language ratio.

This could be the best solution, but it is the harder to code, debug and implement.

All this issues are what makes INTL Toolkit ( http://www.stevenblack.com/ ) so great. Even if you don't use it, take a look at the site, and you'll find plenty of great ideas. There are some articles about this topic there you can read for free.

Best luck,
